//------------------------------// // 4. Reunion Of The Two Suns // Story: My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Magic Show of Friendship // by Dupontsimon //------------------------------// Princess Twilight and Starlight Glimmer were still surprised to realize what Sunset explained. Starlight said, "I can't believe this! I knew Sunburst for a long time, but he never told me about any brothers of sisters!" "And it turns out to be you," Twilight said to Sunset. "We didn't know you had a brother either," Sci-Twi said. Sunset feels remorseful after hearing about her brother. Starlight feels worried for her. "Did something happen between you two?" "You might say that," Sunset said. "When was the last time you heard of him," Twilight asked. "When we were younger," Sunset said. She narrates her backstory about her and Sunburst to her friends. *FLASHBACK* To Sunset's youth, she and Sunburst were foals. Sunburst was younger than her sister, who's been teaching him about magic. "I used to teach my little brother how to be great at magic like me. I even claimed that being the best is the most important thing in life. Sunburst denied it and wanted to make friends. That's when we had a fall-out when I argued that friendship was a waste of time." Their parents watch their children argue about friendship. They called Sunset to have a discussion with her. "My parents were disappointed with how I acted. So, they decided to enroll me into magic school, hoping I would understand how important friendship is and owe my little brother an apology. But I doubted it." Sunset and her family were at the train station to see her off to Canterlot. "As I was on the train, Sunburst looked at me with angry tears that showed me what a bad sister I've been to him. But I didn't care." *END OF FLASHBACK* "And you probably know the rest of it." Sunset lists the things that happened, "Betraying Princess Celestia as her student to know about the mirror, stealing the Element of Magic and try to rule Equestria as a demon--" "And had us reformed you to learn about friendship and make amends with everyone," Twilight finished for her. "And after I changed my ways," Sunset said. "I forgot all about my brother." All of Sunset's friends feel sorry for her. Starlight understands how she feels. "I'm sorry to hear that," she said. "And I understand you. Maybe Trixie and I can help you." "She's right," Twilight said. "Because I think this is the friendship problem you three are sent to solve. Making amends with your brother." "But I'm afraid that he doesn't want to talk to me after how I acted to him," Sunset said. "I'm sure he'll forgive you when he sees how you changed," Starlight reassured. "Well, how are you gonna find him," Sci-Twi asked. "That vortex could have sent him anywhere in our world." Suddenly, they hear a beep from one of the Human Six's phones. They check to see who's being texted. It was human Applejack. "It's from my Apple Bloom," she said. "What did she say," asked Rarity. "She wants us over at our house immediately," Applejack said. "Maybe she and the Crusaders found you brother," Sci-Twi said. "Then let's go," Sunset said. They all head over to human Applejack's house. But pony Trixie stays behind to talk to Silverstream before heading back. "One more thing, Silverstream," Trixie said. "I know what you're gonna ask," Silverstream said. "When you find the diamond and think about destroying it, its magic can still work in pieces like our pearl. So, Starlight will still be a seapony." "And I could make jewelry out of the pieces for each of us." Trixie said. "Thanks for the advice." Silverstream goes back through the portal as Trixie catches up with the others. At human Applejack’s house, the human Cutie Mark Crusaders were waiting for the sisters and friends until they arrived with their pony selves. They were shocked like the Pony CMC were when they saw their sisters’ counterparts. “We got your text, sugarcube,” Applejack said. Apple Bloom start to ask, “Are they-” “Your sisters and friends from another world,” Applejack asked. “I thought you would say that.” “Because that’s what your pony selves acted when they met ours,” Rainbow Dash said. “And it’s awesome to meet you,” Scootaloo said. “And what did our pony selves look like,” Sweetie Belle asked. “Oh, young fillies with your hair,” Rarity said. “But just one thing they have that you don’t.” Rarity gives them their cutie mark badges pony Sweetie Belle made for them. Human Sweetie Belle replied, “These look better than the one we had for the battle of the bands.” “Alright,” Applejack said. “I know you’re excited about meeting the pony us. But what did you text us about?” The Crusaders bring them in the garage, where they find Sunburst resting on a bed of hay. Twilight and Starlight were happy to see him okay and hugged him. Sunset felt nervous and hid behind the Human Six for a while. “We’re glad to see you’re okay, Sunburst,” Twilight said. “Don’t you know you should've had help making Traveling Potion? Or else this wouldn't happen.” “I know,” Sunburst said. “I was unconscious when the vortex dropped me here. Until the Crusaders of this world helped me recover.” “We would’ve told you this morning,” Apple Bloom explained. “But we couldn’t get a hold of you.” “Probably because you visited Equestria,” Scootaloo said. “But I’m glad you found me here,” Sunburst said. “I’m sorry about your seapony form, Starlight.” “I’m okay with it,” Starlight said. “At least the diamond’s magic is not letting us become human. We would’ve got mixed up and I don’t think you would get used to it like we did.” “We had to do research about it before we needed to search for it,” Twilight said. “And also Starlight and Trixie were sent by the map.” “To solve a friendship problem in this world,” Sunburst asked. “That never happened before.” “We know,” Starlight said. “We think the problem might be with you.” Sunburst was curious by this, “With me?” “And your sister,” Trixie added. Sunset comes out from behind and reveals herself. Sunburst was surprised to see his older sister again after a long time. But his face turns to an upset look. “So,” he said. “This is where you've been this whole time.” “I know how disappointed you are, Sunburst,” Sunset sighed. “About how mean I was to you and for that, I’m sorry.” “The only disappointment I am with you, Sunset,” Sunburst said. “Is that you had forgotten about me by not coming back.” “Maybe the rest of you should leave us alone with this problem,” Starlight said to her friends. “So, find the diamond before it gets in the wrong hands.” “Don’t worry,” Twilight said. “We’ll find it and destroy it. That’ll probably reverse the effect.” “You do realize if you destroy it,” Sci-Twi said. “You’ll all become humans.” “But with these clothes,” Twilight said. “We’ll know the difference.” “But Twilight,” Trixie said. “Silverstream talked more about the diamond.” “We don’t have time, Trixie,” Twilight said. “If we don’t destroy it soon, I think its magic will be permanent. So, you and Starlight just help with Sunset’s problem.” “So, let's head back to the fair,” Sci-Twi said. As they all head back, Starlight and pony Trixie are left with Sunset and Sunburst, who doesn’t feel like talking to her. Back at the Graduation Fair, the Human Six, CMC and Trixie returned as the Pony Six began searching for the diamond. “Why don’t you three go look around,” Applejack asked the CMC. “Okay,” Apple Bloom said. “And we should keep an eye out if the diamond’s around here.” She and her friends left to explore the fair. “I hope they find it,” Sci-Twi said. “I’m just worried about Sunset and her brother,” Fluttershy said. “I hope they make amends.” “Well, I don’t think it'll be easy from her story,” Rainbow Dash said. “Just let Starlight and pony me handle it,” Trixie said. “You don’t have to be with us, Trixie,” Applejack said. “And shouldn’t you be at your booth showing your activity,” Pinkie asked. “I’m concerned about that diamond too,” Trixie said. “Turning others into different creatures. What if it does get in the wrong hands and we should question people. Besides, I don’t think I’m doing my activity since my dad’s here.” “I think you’re right,” Sci-Twi said. “But who should we start with?” They walk by Jack Pot’s trailer, who watches them looking sinister. He makes himself look good and approaches them. “Hello, girls,” he greeted. “What do you want now, Dad,” Trixie asked. “Well since you don’t want to be in my show, Trixie,” Jack Pot said. “I thought maybe your friends would like to be in it.” “Us,” Rainbow Dash asked. “In your magic show?” The girls looked at each other curious until Sci-Twi nodded yes to them as she thinks he’s a suspect. “I think we could try,” she accepted. “Wonderful,” Jack Pot replied. “Step into my trailer and I’ll show you around.” The Human Six enter his trailer as Trixie asks Sci-Twi, “How can you tell he’s a suspect?” “Well, he just showed up and asked us to be his assistants,” Sci-Twi said. “Maybe he has the diamond.” “I think so too,” Trixie said. “I look around and see what I can find.” In Jack Pot’s trailer, the Human Six feel interested in his magic equipment. Applejack looks at the saw-in-half trick box. “I always wonder how you do this trick,” she said. “A magician never reveals their secrets you know,” Pinkie said. “Right,” Trixie said. “Here’s a new one that’ll be more interesting,” Jack Pot said. Jack Pot snaps his fingers and then a wisp of magic swirls around the Human Six. Changing their clothes into assistant outfits. Trixie was surprised like she had seen this trick before. “I guess you were right, Trixie,” said Rainbow Dash. “How we would look ridiculous if he dressed us up in one of these assistant outfits. Especially if they’re leotards.” “I know what you mean,” Applejack said. “I’d only wear them if we were in gymnastics class.” “I think these look special,” Rarity said. “Look how mine can shine.” “I don't mind my outfit,” Fluttershy said. “But isn’t this strange,” Trixie asked. “Yeah, I know,” Pinkie said. “Who would’ve known your dad had this trick to change our clothes.” “But haven’t we seen this before,” Trixie asked. “Well, of course it’s not stage magic like yours,” Sci-Twi said. Suddenly, Trixie found the case that had her wand locked away. It was opened and the wand is missing. She also looked outside and saw her activity booth ransacked. “What’s wrong, Trixie,” Rainbow Dash asked. Trixie turns to her father and angrily asks, “Where is it, Dad?!” “Where’s what,” Sci-Twi asked. “What did he do?” “This clothes-changing trick is familiar,” Trixie said. “It’s that transfiguration magic that my wand is enchanted with. He stole it from me!” Jack Pot reveals the wand to the girls. “I didn’t steal it,” he said. “I just want to borrow it. And your magic geodes, which is what I actually want from you.” The girls were shocked by his confession. “I knew something was up when offered us to be your assistants,” Sci-Twi said. “And you don't know how dangerous Equestrian magic could be if you don’t know how to use it.” “I already know how to use it,” Jack Pot said. “What do you mean you know how to use it,” Applejack asked. “I don’t think that’s not the first magic object you have,” Trixie said. “You think I have something else, do you,” Jack Pot asked. “Well, is this what you’re looking for?” Jack Pot reveals to them, much to their shock, the missing transformation diamond. “It’s the diamond,” Trixie gasped. “I knew you had it,” Sci-Twi said. “And I will show you its magic,” Jack Pot said. “On you!” Jack Pot activates the diamond and casts its magic. Sci-Twi pushes Trixie out of the way as the Human Six get showered in magic. Trixie watches in horror as her father transforms her friends into various animals. Sci-Twi gets turned into a crane. “Wha-” she squawked. “What happened?!” Applejack gets turned into a dog and barked. “Did that come out of me?!” Pinkie Pie gets turned into a cat. “He turned us into animals,” she meowed. “That’s what happened!” Fluttershy gets turned into a deer. “Oh, deer,” she said. “I’m a deer!” Rarity gets turned into a kangaroo. “Why would I want to be a kangaroo,” she freaked. “If you think you look terrible,” Rainbow Dash said. “Look what I am!” She’s been turned into a dragon. “A dragon,” Applejack asked shocked. “Yeah,” Rainbow Dash said. “What good is this?!” “What good,” Jack Pot said. “Is that you’ll give me a great show.” The Human Six, now called Animal Six, and Trixie are terrified by her father’s sinister scheme.
